She is currently keeps herself busy on hours of writing, reading, and creating evocative images. Tirelessly working on writing and painting projects, she spends much of her time immersed in music while painting, and it shows in the colorful results of her artistry, and writing with the music switched off.

My goodness!
that is a lot of blogs!
I like your art work
What a lot of work, Trisha. Kudos to you. I will have to set aside some weekend time to explore all this. You are amazingly productive as well as amazingly talented. What a hard worker.

What wonderful expressions of feelings. If I may say, when I write, sometimes I wonder if anyone will be interested in what I have to say, or even understand what is being written. Then comes the realization that I must write what is in my heart, for that moment in time whether I have followers, or loose followers. Be true to yourself and the gift that has been place in you, will touch others more than you might think. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. 🙂
